HOTEL DE L'ARCADE, Paris

Madeleine Metro Station is just 170 metres away, offering direct access to Gare de Lyon. The surrounding area is safe and well-connected: two metro lines (Madeleine and Saint-Augustin) are within a short walk, giving easy access to the Champs-Élysées, the Louvre, and the Seine. Dozens of restaurants and bakeries are on the doorstep, including a boulangerie just a block away. Many major attractions are within a 30-minute walk, making this hotel a strong base for exploring central Paris without relying on transport. Charles de Gaulle Airport is reachable by car in about 50 minutes, or by public transport (RER B + metro) in roughly the same time; Orly requires about 45 minutes by car or 50 minutes by public transport. A paid airport transfer can be arranged through the hotel.

The room portfolio includes standard doubles/twins, triples, family rooms with three beds, duplex rooms with a balcony, and larger apartments (35 to 60 m2) with kitchenettes, a refrigerator, and stall showers. Twin beds can be joined into a queen-size. The triple room can accommodate up to four beds on request. All rooms feature flat-screen TVs, minibars, wardrobes, and safes. Windows are double-glazed and some overlook quiet streets. Some rooms have carpets and older furniture - the property is classically styled with some areas needing refreshment. For a quieter stay, request a room away from the lift. A duplex or apartment is recommended for those wanting more space, a balcony, or self-catering capabilities. No tea/coffee-making facilities are provided in-room, but hot and cold drinks are available from reception upon request.

Breakfast is served in a dedicated room each morning, offering bread, pastries, hot drinks, and a continental selection. It can be brought to the room upon request at the reception, and coffee is available at the front desk in the morning. There is no restaurant for lunch or dinner, so evening meals need to be taken elsewhere. The area surrounding the hotel is well served by cafes, brasseries and bakeries within a five-minute walk - including a well-regarded boulangerie just a block away - providing ample choices for meals outside the property.

The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, providing concierge service, currency exchange, and assistance with airport transfers (at a cost). Daily housekeeping is included, with laundry and dry cleaning available for an additional charge. The hotel has a lift and offers luggage storage before check-in or after checkout, which is especially helpful for late departures. A paid business centre and fax/photocopying services are available. Cots and extra beds can be arranged for a fee. Pets are allowed at no extra cost when requested in advance. Private parking is possible at a nearby location (€36/day, max height 1.90 m, reservation required). Street parking is also available and payable via credit card machines or a mobile app.
